Smile | Two Treasures | Traditional Hand-Painted Chinese Ink Figure Painting | 138x69.5cm

From Li Zongyi's acclaimed "Smile" series (8.5 square chi, horizontal scroll), this minimalist freehand painting features masterful brushwork and expressive forms. A bare-bellied, bearded elder reclines with smiling, half-closed eyes as two young children—one in teal, one in red—play beside him in endearing innocence; the elder and little ones radiate warm happiness.

"Two Treasures" regards the two children as twin jewels, for a child's purity is the world's greatest treasure. Warm and full of familial joy, it conveys cherishing the present and prizing childlike innocence, with wishes for harmony and happiness. With condensed, bold brushwork and exaggerated yet vivid forms, the artist captures each figure's spirit in just a few strokes. Each piece is an original hand-painted work, never reproduced.
